      Struwwelpeter is absolutely horrible, esp. the fact that it was sold as an actual children’s book and apparently well enough to be remembered forever.

      I just learned that the guy called himself a psychiatrist. In 1844, this was a very different kind of science. He was very pleased with the success of his book - which he wrote for a 3-year old relative - until his death.

      That said, I did not know he spoke out against bullying of minorities.
